    Attacking population centers from the air is justified? A just war, at least as defined by Aquinas, needs to be proportional in response.
    I was talking about the Muslim Bosnians and Kosovo, er, ians? ish? ites? defending themselves against attacks. Not to mention that a definition of just war by Aquinas has little application to the meaning of jihad. I meant 'just' in the general sense of 'righteous.'
    I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.
